The Mountain Bluebird is a short-distance migrant found throughout western North America. Its arrival from its wintering grounds in Mexico is known to announce the beginning of spring. However, in response to increasing temperatures and declining snow cover, the first arrival date is now 19 days earlier than it was 60 years ago. While people may be happy to see them, the earlier arrival may not be good for the birds. Extreme weather fluctuations are common in early spring, so the birds may be subjected to very cold temperatures as well as snow cover which could limit access to food. Scientists are keeping a close watch on population numbers, watching for any decline.
